Hmm. that typically has to do with the local Facebook installation on 
your phone. Does it take this long repeatedly?

Its sole purpose is as follow:

1. Make a local x.509 certificate with a WebID watermark (via HTTP URI 
in SAN that identifies the Cert. Subject)
2. Make a collection of public identification oriented artifacts that 
are dispatched to a storage provider of your choosing e.g, Dropbox, 
Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive etc..

Once the above is in place, you can add more relations to the 
WebID-Profile document it generates.

Yes, of course. We just need a webby system to work with .

Note, there's an Web Services variant making its way through QA that 
will replace our old generator [1].
